Author~Unknown
CONFORMATION BARBIE: This top selling, perfectly
coiffed Barbie comes with a dozen color coordinated suits (all with
convenient and roomy pockets for show bait and brushes) and classy
but comfortable flats (for running frantically around the grounds
and ring). Also included are her champion toy poodle Sir Barksalot,
and her champion pomeranian I'm All That and More, complete with
diamond studded collars & leads, and Best of Breed ribbons.
The set includes matching monogrammed pink dog crates, monogrammed
pink grooming table, monogrammed pink tool box with grooming tools,
dog dryer, monogrammed pink grooming apron and monogrammed pink
ex-pen. Sold separately are Group 1 rosettes, Best in Show trophy,
the Deluxe Dog Show RV (with space for several additional show dogs)
and Conformation Ken, to drive the RV and schlep around all of conformation
Barbie's gear.
HERDING BARBIE: This very popular Barbie comes
with her very own authentic drover coat, Stetson cowboy hat, several
pair of cowboy boots, waterproof boots for very inclement weather,
silk long johns, wool socks, and an monogrammed staff. Much like
Tracking Judge Barbie, this version of Barbie has perpetual "bad
hair", so be prepared to leave the cowboy hat on at all times.
Also included is her very own monogrammed stretcher so that she
can be carried out of the arena when the sheep run over her. Barbie
comes with her own Sheltie, "Round 'em Up's Chaser HI",
or "Yapper". "Yapper" comes with her own gold-plated
chain so that she can be hooked up to the barbed wire fence with
all the Cattle Dogs and Border Collies (barbed wire fence not included).
Barbie also comes with several sheep, cows, and ducks, making her
one of the more expensive Barbies.
AGILITY BARBIE: Unlike most slim, attractive versions
of Barbie, this Barbie is quite muscular from hauling very heavy
A-frames, teeter-totters, and dog walks. She can carry an A-frame
panel with one arm and set up all of the contact obstacles single-handedly.
Barbie comes complete with a full set of agility equipment, lawn
chair, cooler, stopwatch, battery-operated fans, an open-sided tent
for shade, sunscreen, bug spray, rain suit, waterproof boots, 57
different agility rule books for all occasions, and her very own
courier (Ken) who can hand deliver agility entries to the most popular
trials and stand in line for Barbie. Ken also helps set up the equipment.
Barbie also comes with her own agility dog, Border Collie "U-AtchRunaround's
Speed Demon AX, AXJ, etc., etc., etc., BFD", or "Contact".
Trailer for hauling agility equipment sold separately.
OBEDIENCE BARBIE: Barbie comes with a training
bag full of gear, a set of utility articles, a full set of regulation
obedience jumps, her own lawn chair, cooler, a subscription to Front
and Finish, and her very own obedience Golden Retriever "OTCh
Sparklepond's Shorestepper's Heelalong Fool" better known as
"Two-hundred". Accessories such as HIT ribbons and high
scoring club plaques can be purchased separately.
TRACKING JUDGE BARBIE: Barbie comes with a Polartec
snowsuit, Gore-Tex rain gear and boots, wool socks, leather tracking
gloves, silk long underwear, sunscreen, bug spray, a baseball cap,
a waterproof clipboard, mylar paper and space pens in three colors.
She also comes with whistles in two different colors to match the
snowsuit and rain gear, a complete set of tracking flags, a compass,
and a set of 12 different tracking articles. Unlike most Barbies,
this Barbie always has a "bad hair day" so it's best to
leave a hood or the baseball cap over her hair at all times.
Included in the deluxe version is Barbie's tracking dog "Pokealong's
Can't Find Squat TD", or "Sniffer", a Siberian Husky
who comes with his own harness and rope as well as a lifetime supply
of hot dogs. Sniffer has been known to eat start articles with one
gulp and turn the start flag into a large toy at TDX tests, grabbing
it in his mouth and running in large circles around the field (especially
when there is a large audience watching). This version also comes
with a case of Valium for Tracking Judge Barbie for this very reason.
This is the most expensive Barbie and most collectors prefer to
leave her in the original box.
EARTHDOG BARBIE: Barbie comes with her very own
monogrammed shovel, a custom-built liner for training, and a cage
with three live rats. Also included are several pair of jeans, flannel
shirts, t-shirts, rain gear, sunscreen, bug spray, and waterproof
boots. Barbie comes with several small terriers (you choose the
breed) and two first aid kits (one for the dogs when they get in
fights, and one for Barbie when she gets her hand in the way) as
well as a .38 revolver for emergencies (don't ask). This version
of Barbie can be removed from the box but some collectors prefer
to leave the terriers in the original box.
And last, but not least, the most popular one of all is the DOG
CLUB PRESIDENT BARBIE, who comes with TWO cases of Miss Clairol
hair color (to color her own gray hair), a monogrammed strait jacket,
a leather-bound copy of Robert's Rules of Order, and a gold-plated
gavel. The gavel unscrews at the end and is secretly a .357 magnum
which can be used to keep unruly club members under control or just
get rid of them all together!
Four-wheel-drive sport utility vehicles and minivans complete with
dog crates are sold separately for all versions of Barbie.
